Hi all.
Very new to all this so please be kind.
I'm trying to Dye-sub some multi-layer face coverings on a Flat Tshirt press but I find that the top layer to be printed is not tight so I am getting wrinkles which cause bands of no colour on the product.
Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve a good print?
Many thanks in advance.

Print the fabric before cutting/sewing it into the mask.
There are advantages to being able to just sub onto a ready made garment, but making it up after subbing is the best approach in terms of print quality

I think I read on here from Earl that a cap press works really well with ready made face masks.

If you have one it might. E worth giving it a try.

Thank you both for your replies.
I am using ready-made masks so I'll try the cap press and report back.
Thanks again.
